A tree in the berm or curb strip appears to be dying and may need to be removed. I've been told these trees are the responsibility of the city. Can someone look at it and remove it if necessary? In addition, there are a few other trees on my lot which are very close to the road, and I don't know if they belong to me or the city. Can someone provide insight about this for me? Thank you.

The city removed a tree from the verge/berm in front of my house this past summer, and they said another tree would be planted in its place. However, no tree has been planted. I was wondering if the city could plant a tree in the spot this spring. Thanks.

I hope someone from the appropriate city department can help me with a tree issue on my neighbor's property that is endangering my home. Perhaps someone could contact them and request that they need to remove the tree or trim it. It is an investment property for them, which they do not live in, so they have not been keen on addressing it. I recently purchased this house at 1017 W Howe St. During the recent storms, one of the large silver maple trees at my other neighbor's property fell into my roof, destroying the back half of my home and causing extensive mold and flood damage. I am trying to address the issue with the trees now so this does not happen again to any of us. I only received half my claim amount from my insurance due to nonrecoverable depreciation and the deductible, which is only enough to replace the roof, though there has been extensive interior damage and flooding as well. Upon looking into the surrounding trees and contacting some folks about it, I have learned that my neighbors to the left of my house have been aware that their tree that is growing over my roof has extensive heart rot and is hazardous. The people who owned the home before them were landlords and were aware of the issue as well, but chose to sell the home when the tree destroyed their roof some years back, rather than cutting it down as needed, and it still hasn't been addressed. The people I purchased my home from said they had an arborist come do an examination and recommended that the tree needs to be removed, or at least trimmed back so it is not endangering my home should it fall, and it is likely to. I have also had multiple tree companies come do estimates for me regarding other tree work, given the damage that has occurred, as well as roofing contractors and chimney contractors. All of them say the tree is dangerous and needs to come down. I have included an image from the back of my home, and the tree in question here is the one on the right of the image.

Several neighbors, and myself, have been victims of actions done by the unhoused. Just last night (1-5-24), our car was broken into for the second time in less than a year. This time, we saw the person before anything was taken. This area needs help. While we are all understanding of the needs of the unhoused, we in this neighborhood, have a right to feel safe for our families. In less than a year, this area has had vehicle break ins, home invasions, confrontation about blocking front doors, and theft. Please help all Bloomington residents, not just the unhoused.

Is it possible for someone to check out this property for animal abuse? I just walked by today (via the alley) and they seem to have a lot of growlings dogs in cages that were covered with blankets.

I found 3 syringes in my back yard on Saturday morning. I did notify police dispatch, but wanted to also inform the city. We also had someone walk by the side of our house yesterday evening and got very alarmed when they saw us. Said they were cutting through to catch a ride. We live on a corner and there is no way it would have saved time. I am concerned safety wise, especially for my wife. I feel less sage then I did when I moved back to Bloomington 8 years ago.

City of Bloomington (Historic Preservation Commission?)
My wife and I recently purchased and moved in to 348 S Morton St, which is on the Indiana Historical Registry.
Earlier this month, using uReport Case 181400, we requested Parks & Rec to help with some heavy brush between S Morton St and the B-Line (they were very responsive -- nice job Paula and Team! :-)).
Reviewing the work after clearing was done, walking along the B-Line trail, just below 348 S Morton St, I noticed some block/stone work that might be quite old (pic attached). It appears the block/stone work is there to shore up the embankment for a considerable stretch of S. Morton St.
Now that it's visible, it appears that this block/stone work is in a state of disrepair :-(
A couple of thoughts:
• Is it possible this could be looked at to see if this block/stone work has any historical significance
• There could be some concern that this block/stone work may not have the original integrity it was intended to have regarding shoring up the embankment along a stretch of 348 S. Morton St.
